thinking, and sleepless, a heavenly voice coming out of the Asvattha tree spoke to him, 'Ho, Somadatta, l am pleased with you, therefore go to the kingdom of ruler named Aditya- prabha in country of the Strikantha. There before the door of the great king. recite the mantra Of tine evening oblation to Agni, and inces- sanity speak these words: I am a Brahman named Phalsbhutis; hear what say. Whoever causes happiness will obtain happiness, and whoever causes misfortune will obtain misior- tune.' Thus saying you will then re- ceive great fortune. Now learn from me the mantra of the evening obla- tion to Agni. am Yaksha.'
 Thus saving and having by his power immediately taught him the mantra, the voice fn the tree ceased, and early in the morning Somadatta set out with his wife. having received the name of Phalabhutis from the Yaksha. Crossing forests and going around rugged places, painful to be seen. at last he reached the country of Strikantha, and there at the door of the king he reeited the mantha ot the evening oblation to Agni. and as di- rected caused his name of Phalabhutis to be announced. Then he said :: Whoever causes happiness obtains happiness, and whoever causes misfor- tune obtains misfortune,' words that produced the greatest curiosity in the people. The king of Adityaprobha then considered him repeating these words every moment, and out of curi- osity caused Phalabhutis to come in. and when he came in he said the words over and over again. the king and all those standing around laughed at him. The minister gave him gar ments and ornaments and the Raja granted him villages; for the gratiti- cation of the great is not in vain. Thus Phalabhutis, although poor, at that moment obtained by the favor of the god Guhyaka, wealth which was conferred by the king. Thus always saying the above mentioned words he became favorite of the king. for the minds of rulers have taste for diver sion. And, step by step, he obtained high esteem and favor ill the Raja's household, in his kingdom and ill the female apartments, because he was dear to the Raja. One day the ruler Adityaprabha returned from hunting in the woods and on a sudden went into the female apartment. Being apprehensive of something on account of the confusion of the doorkeeper he entered. and saw a queen named Ku- valayavati worshiping gods, having only the sky for raiment, hair stand ing erect, eyes half closed, large marks of red lead upon her forehead, mutter- ing, while her lower lips trembled, standing in the middle of great cir cle in which was placed various col ored paints, and making hideous oblation, made up of blood. liquor and human flesh. When the king entered, she in her agitation seized her gar ments, and being questioned by him, immediately answered, asking protec- tion: % king, have performed this worship for the purpose of obtaining your prosperity"

 "There are some people," said the counsellor, "who don't believe in ghosts, but I'm not one of them. l; may bc there are no ghosts nowadays --may be they keep shady hefoe the march of universal cducation-h but there were such things when was N boy, and l believe in them, and so did my father before me"
 The counsellor admits to eighty, but they do say he might add a half dozen years to that and not depart from tho truth. He practices efiectu- ally in both the civil and criminal courts at Jefferson market.
 "Do you seo that old wooden, house over thereg" he said. pointing to an ancient structure just now closed with bill of "To let" on 1t. We werc then standing on Abingdon sQuarp. looking west. Well, sir, I've heard my father toll story about that house, or rather the ono that used to stand next door to 1t, good many years ago, for that house has been a tavern for nigh on to a hundred years. The house next door was torn down because they couldn't let it. IL was haunted, and l remember when they tore it down, forty-tlve years ago, and put up that brick house.

 Well, Pil tell you a story about that house as Pve heard my father tell it many time.

He always said that thero had never been anything shown yot that was supernatural about IL, and that there ne> CT would be
 "But the neighbors about thcrc told different story. They declared that they had seen strange things, bright lights at all hours of tho night, and Hitting figures, but had heard no noises. Now at this tavern there used to be n jolly set of old fellows meet every evening to sip their rum and water and tell stories. My father was one of them, for he was, like me, born just within stones throw of where we stand, and was kind of keystone to the party. The landlord WAS afraid to boss him as he dii the rest, 1o that my father did ns he pleased and when It pleased him to talk of tho house next door he talked"

 A foreign prince, who was only about five feet two, began to suspect that his adjutant, who was six feet four inches, was working against the interests of his sovereign. At last some letters fell into the hands of the prince that proved the guilt of the adjutant beyond the possibility of a doubt. The guilty one was ordered to appear. Pointing to the letters, the little prince looked up at the tall adjutant and said: l "Here, sir, are the proofs of your guilt. How, small, how iDexpressi- ply low you appear fin my eyes when l look down on you"

Cupid Drowned by a Da nl

A young man who lives over on the north side was telling some of his cronies one night last week how his engagement with a come to an end.
 s'I was very fond of her," he said, land thought her as sweet and pretty woman as I ever saw. But you chaps know l am a little squeamsh about some things. An un- pleasant thing to look at affects me great deal vol, know Ia fact I have a weakness in that direction, but can't help it. Say, did any of you chaps ever have dentists dam put into your mouth? No? We'll, then you can't appreciate my feelings. One day dropped into dentists office over on State street, and there was nay afhapced sitting in the dentists chair with the dentists dam in her mouth. If she had seen me she would have had mysteries. I saw her and came near having them myself.
 'tSs you don't know what dentists dam isl Well, it's rubber contriVance they put in your mouth. They fasten it under your chin so that it is drawn down over your lips, tongue and gums. They punch little hole in it and let the tooth they want to operate on stick up through the hole. The effect on the appearance of the subject is something awful. A woman is never pretty when her mouth is wide open and dentists fingers are trying to open it little wider. But the dam adds 8 hideousness of which you can form no idea until you see one at it's horrid work. One glance at the poor girl with that thing in her mouth took all my love for her away. 'Pon my word, had to go home that day with raging headache, all on account of that awful dam, but before night wrote her note stating that circumstances over which I had no control compelled me to break the engagement. It was a deucedly unpleasant thing to do, chaps, but couldn't l help it you know"

this State hereafter to show a certificate of
 at least years education in some dental
 college. There are twenty-six such colleges in the United States. A dentist of Hartford assures the Hartford Times that dentists have started business in this State who have had no more than one months education. He assumes that they do a vast amount of damage. They pull childrens teeth that ought not to be extracted-make crooked teeth and tusks by malpractice. He claims that million of dollars would not pay just damages done by ignorant or quaek practi- tioners in dentistry in Connecticut. He says dentist went out to the Deaf and Dumb asylum and in a few hours operated on 13S pupils and extracted over 300 teeth; and that two doctors extracted eighty-seven teeth from children at the County home on Tues day afternoon of last week. He speaks of this as unprofessional and lamentable. Twenty six States, the Canadas, and all Flu rope require twice as much as the bill now before our legislature requires.

THE ACCOMMODATING MORMON!

THE ACCOMMODATING MORMONS. Just after the new anti-polygamy law was
 passed the Mormon papers made light of it, and intimated that it wouldn't trouble the
 Mormons much. Some things which have
 happened this week indicate the foundation
 for this attitude. The twenty-fourth section
 of the law prescribes an oath for voters, pub lie officers and jurors. It was predicted that
 by means of this oath the members of the
 Mormon church in Utah-who are four-ffths
 of the territory's nhabitants-would be dis franchised.
 The new law provides that every male
 person twenty-one years of age resident in the territory of Utah shall, as a condition precedent to his right to register or vote at any election in said territory, take and sub- scribe an oath or affirmation before the reg istration officer of his voting precinct that he is over twenty one years of age and has re- sided in the territory of Utah for six months then last passed and in the precinct for one
 month immediately preceding the date there of and that he is a native e-born tor natural ized, as the case may be,) citizen of the
 United States, and further state in such oath
 
 place of business, his status, whether single
 or married, and, if married, the name of his
 lawful wife, and that he will support the
 constitution of the United States and will faithfully obey the laws thereof, and espe-
 cially will obey the act of Congress approved
 March g, 1882, entitled "An act to amend
 section 5,352 of the revised statutes of the United States, in reference to bigamy and for other purposes" and will also obey the new law ill respect of the crimes in said law defined and forbidden, and that he will not, directly or indirectly, aid or abet, counsel or advise, any other person to commit any of said crimes.
 It now looks as if the Mormons were not going to allow this oath to interfere with their plans. It has this week been readily and easily taken by some Mormon jurors and election officers. It will be very interesting to see what happens. It is not probable that the Mormons really intend to succumb to the laws
